Artist Statement for Cynthia Greig

|
Several bodies of work are presented on this website.
WEB PAGES 1-2. The Bride Wore Trousers or New Eden: The Life and Work of Isabelle Raymond (See also Gallery 44 essay by Katy McCormick http://www.gallery44.org/exhibitions/bride-brochure.htm
For this ongoing installation that began in 1993, I invented the fictional character of a 19th-century cross-dressing female photographer, Isabelle Raymond. In brief, I assume the character of Isabelle both behind and in front of the lens, and create what appear to be vintage photographs made by her in order to investigate the conventions for constructing both gender and history within the context of a fictional past.
WEB PAGES 3-4. "Representations"
Representations combines photography and drawing to explore the concept of photographic truth and its correspondence to perceived reality. No digital manipulation is involved. Focusing on the representation of ordinary objects, the images appear to vacillate between drawing and photograph, black and white and color, signifier and signified, ultimately complicating any simple notions about truth or reality.
WEB PAGES 4-6. "LIFE-SIZE"
For the Life-Size series I photograph my friends and family interacting with miniature objects, as if they were functioning tools or possessions. I print the image so that the original object appeas to approximate "life-size" scale, disturbing perceptual expectations and a natural sense of order.
WEB PAGES 6-7 OTHER PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEO:
"Genetic Traits"
Genetic Traits documents the recurring physical abnormality of a second bottom that appears on the sides of apples, identified as from Lot <4135, purchased at my local grocery store
"From the Garden of Natural and Not So Natural Wonders" and "Black Box:This is not my father" (DVD)
